SUMMARY
Problem
All components of the current Navy Officer Personnel System do not meet the manpower management and personnel administration needs of the Navy. The Navy Officer Classification Coding System, which Ls a major component of the Navy Officer Personnel System, dees not provide the specificity of qualifications identification data and the precise correlation of such data which are needed for the most effective identification of officer billet requirements and personnel resources. The objective of this phase of investigation is to determine refinements to the Navy Officer Designatici Classification Coding Structure (Designa- tor) and to design and test supplemental structures for more precise and correlated identification of billet and officer i-ualifications.
Background and Requiraments
Chief of Naval Personnel (Pers-A) memorandum of 1 June 1970 (see Appendix E) established updated descriptions of Manpower and Peisonne 1 Management Information System (MAPMIS) Information Objectives #11, #30 • and #31. Further, tba memorandum provided guidance for advanced develop- ment research effort in FY 71 and indicated that priority of effort should be refinement of the officer designator as Indicated by Information Objective #11.
The Navy Officer Personnel System Research Steering Committee (here- after referred to as the Steering Committee) approved the recommendations contained in WRM 71-12, Refinement of the Navy Officer Classification System, August 1970. The committee established that FY 71 research effort was to be conducted In consonance with the recommendations and the guidance provided by the memorandum of 1 June 1970.
Additional background information is contained in Progress Report, Navy Manpower and Personnel Management Information Systems Task Force (MISTAF) Objective #30; Research to Implement, January 1968 and WRM 70-10, Total Officer Personnel System (TOPS); Improvement of the Navy Officer Classification Coding System. July 1969.
Approach
Previous proposals and current publications pertinent to officer qualifications and the classification coding system were reviewed. The requirements of officer manpower managers were determined, alternative designs for refinement of the designator were developed and tested against these needs, and selection and further development made of the design which would best serve the needs of all users. Meetings were held with the Steering Committee for coordination of user requirements and acceptance of the basic design.

Findings and Conclusions
Based on the data determined In this phase of the research, It Is concluded that:
1. Modification of the Navy Officer Designation Structure (Designator) should be kept to a minimum (as shown in Appendix A) and specifically provide for identification of:
a. Surface Warfare billets, i.e., 1110 billet designator.
b. Billets which may be filled by any unrestricted line officer other than aviation, i.e., 1100 billet designator.
c. Billets which may be filled by any warfare specialist, i.e., 1000 billet designator.
d. Officers qualified in Surface, Submarine, or Special Warfare, i.e., 111X, 112X, or 113X officer designator, respectively.
e. Officers not qualified in a warfare specialty, i.e., 110X officer designator.
f. Nurse, Medical, and Dental Corps student billets and officers with designators related to Jheir respective corps rather than the line, e.g., 2990 instead of 1900 Nurse Corps student billet designator.
2. The Additional Qualification Designation (AQD) will be the primary modifier of billet and officer designators.
3. The AQD structure will be applicable to billets and officers and will supersede the current Special Qualification/Special Designation (SQ/SD) for officer special qualifications Identification.
4. The designed basic AQD structure (see Appendixes B and C) will:
H. Provide the requisite preciseness of qualifications identifi- cation of both billets and officers.
b. Provide readily retrievable data for accurate inventories, training requirements, and procurement planning.
5. Together, the designator and AQD structures will:
a. Achieve the desired one to one relationship between officer requirements and resources, thereby greatly facilitating the management of officer manpower by providing the required specificity and correlation of data.
b. Provide the capability of readily and accurately Identifying the status of each officer category, both for management and DOD reporting purposes.
iv
i
c. Provide a flexibility to adapt to changing conditions which is not currently available,
6, The glossary (see Appendix D) contains items which should be included in Department of the Navy Glossary of Terms for Manpower Management and Personnel Administration, OPNAV 01BI-P2, for mutual understanding of commonly used terms,
7, Priority should be given to additional research in further refinement of tne Navy Officer Classification System to meet the require- ments of Manpower and Personnel. Management Information System (MAPMIS) Information Objectives #11, #30, and #31,
Recommendations
1. Implement the modified billet and officer designator structure contained in Appendix A, (Page 6)

I II. APPROACH
Previous proposals and rationale concerning the refinement of the Navy officer designator were reviewed and analyzed. Publications pertinent to officer qualifications and the classification coding system were reviewed. The opinions and comments of persons responsible for the management of officer manpower were solicited in order to determine requirements of Individual managers. Various alternative designs for refinement of the designator were developed and tested against the needs of the users, including computer input and retrieval appl'cations, and selection made of the design which would best serve the needs of all users. Having determined the best design, effort was concentrated on identificption and development of content. Meetings were held with the Steering Committee for the purposes of evaluating the various alt irnative designs, coordinating selection of the basic design, review of research progress, and development of guidance per- taining to the research.

III. DISCUSSION
A. Navy Officer Designator
L.l
.
The Navy Officer Designation Classification Coding Structure (Desig- nator) Identifies billets and officers by major occupational or specialty
categories In accordance with law and policy. The designator, by Itself, Identifies general qualification requirements for bl'lets and officer resources. Other qualifications Identification classification coding structures modify the designators and provide additional specificity of data. However, officer manpower managers require still greater specificity of data than Is currently available. The proposed officer designators discussed herein and the Additional Qualification Designation (AQD), which is discussed in the following section, will provide the necessary speci- ficity and, in addition, the flexibility needed to ad.apt to changing requirements.
OPNAV Instruction 1000.I6B lists eight unrestricted line officer billet designators which are unique to the aviation organization (13XX) and three officer billet designators which are unique to the remaining unrestricted line (1IXX). The Manual of Navy Officer Classifications, NAVPERS 15839B, lists five unrestricted line officer designators which are unique to the aviation organization and one officer designator, 110X - an unrestricted line officer, which is unique to the remaining unrestricted line.
The Navy's mission encompasses four warfare specialties within the overall Naval Warfare specialty. These are Air Warfare, Submarine Warfare, Special Warfare and Surface Warfare. Air Warfare billet and resource qualification identifications most closely approach the degree of speci- ficity, or discreteness, desired by officer manpower managers. Surface Warfare is the least specific. The following compares the warfare identifications currently available in each specialty.

It can be seen in the above that Surface Warfare is the only warfare specialty which is not specifica]ly identified by a billet designator.
Designator 1100 is generic to any unrestricted line officer not possessing a warfare specialty, including Wave officers, i.e., by definition "an unrestricted line officer." Identification of officer qualification in Surface Warfare was implemented by BUPERS Notice 1210 of 9 April 1970 which established qualifications for assignment of the newly created SQ/SD 020 - Surface Warfare Officer.
In the past twenty-five years, many restructures of the officer designator have been proposed without agreement for major change ever being reached. However, manpower managers have maintained Interest in restructuring the designator for better utilization.
During meetings with the Steering Committee, discussiond were held on the problem of the lack of a one to one relationship of the 11XX billet and officer designators which results in non-specific, and there- fore not readily available, identification of warfare specialty require- ments and resources. The following agreements were reached:
1. Surface Warfare billets should be identified by a discrete designator for specificity of warfare specialty required by the billets.
2. Surface Warfare officers should be Identified by a discrete designator in order to identify their warfare qualification and to achieve correlation with the billet designator.
3. Submarine Warfare officers should be identified by a discrete designator in order to Identify their warfare qualification and to achieve correlation with the billet designator.
4. Special Warfare officers should be identified by a discrete designator in order to identify their warfare qualification and to achieve correlation with the billet designator.
5. The 1100 billet designator should Identify billets which can be filled by any 11XX officer. I.e., warfare specialty is not required.
6. The 110X officer designator should Identify officers who are noc qualified in a warfare specialty, including Waves,
7. The 1000 officer billet designator should bvj redefined In order to remove the grade restriction which has heretofore existed, i.e., Captain or above. This will permit identification of all billets which may be filled by officers qualified in any warfare specialty.
8. Modification of the officer designator should be limited to that which is necessary to identify major categories of specialization. The Additional Qualification Designation (AQD) should identify specific qualifications within the major categories of specialization (designator) for both billets and officers.

There is another area of the officer designator structure which needs revision in order to provide specificity of identification. The first digit of all unrestricted line and restricted line designators is "1," and it identifies "line officers," Yet an anomaly exists in the structure in that Nurse Corps, Medical Corps, and Dental Corps student billet and officer designators have a "1" as the fir!>t digit of the designator, e.g., 1900 - Nurse Corps Student billet and 190X - an unrestricted line officer under instruction as a prospective Nurse Corps Officer. To resolve this anomaly, it is proposed that these student billets and officers be identi- fied with a modified designator of the corps for which they are in training, e.g., 2990 for the billet and 299X for the officer, in the case of the Nurse Corps. The third digit of the designator ("9") identifies student. When training is completed the officer designator would change to 290X,
It is noted that prospective Medical Service Corps, Chaplain Corps, and Judge Advocate Corps officers are identified as "an unrestricted line officer under instruction" with a "1" as the first digit of the officer designator; however, there are no comparable billet designators. Although the numbers of officers who are identified in each of these categories at any one time is relatively small, it is suggested that consideration be given to modification of these officer designators also.
ahe foregoing designator modifications do not conflict with officer classification requirements established by law. See Appendix A for the proposed officer designators.
B. Additional Qualification Designation (AQD)
The Navy Manpower and Personnel Management Information Systems Task Force (MISTAF) stressed the need for more precise definition of the qualifications required by officer billets (1.0. #11 and #30) by development of a Primary Qualification Specialty (PQS) structure for each category of officers. The PQS would show major fields of quali- fication within each category (designator), and it would be used to describe a billet only when the qualification was a prerequisite for assignment to the billet.
PQS was subsequently changed to Additional Qualification Designation (AQD) in order to avoid confusion with the then current P, S, and Q Codes of officer subspecialty and to better describe the potential uses of the new structure.
The designator, in itself, represents a primary qualification. The AQD modifies the designator where necessary by identifying additional qualifications which are essential to the billet. Therefore, the AQD complements the designator.
The AQD is designed to identify billet qualification requireraentF with a specificity which is not provided by existing identifiers. Currently the designator identifies a relatively broad area of qualification.
•***_ __.
Educational Requirement Codes identify education requirements for subspecialty billets, and tne NOBC describes the general duties of a billet.
In the area of officer resources identification, the designator again identifie s a relatively broad area of qualification, including the proposed designators (see Appendix A). The current SQ/SD structure provides identification of certain qualifications but lacks overall definition of the qualifications , desc ription of procedures for qualification, and responsibility for certification. The Subspecialist Codes :dentify officers who are quali f ied or partially qualified in subspecialty areas. The NOBC on officer records identifies functional experience gained by billet incumbency.
The Steering Committee agreed in principle that AQD should replace SQ/SD for officer qualification identification in order to resolve the dichotomy of separate coding structures identifying identical qualifications, i.e., AQD for billets and SQ/SD for officers. The result is that the AQD will identify billet qualifications requirements an~ ~111 also identify parallel officer qualifications to a degree of specificity not currently available. It was also agreed that a maximum of one AQD will be a ·signed to a billet; and that a minimum of one AQD will be assigned to each officer, thereby insuring positive identification of qualification or non-qualification in a warfare or support specialty.
Based upon guidance from the Steering Committee, this advanced development research for FY 71 was implemented to develop the basic AQD structure for the unrestricted line less the 13XX designators (see NOTE). Further, it was agreed that subsequent to approval of the basic structure, the detailed AQD structure would be developed, as necessary, with the assistance of the applicable specialty advisors. Since it is apparent t ·nat a greater number of AQDs will be required for officer identification, due to changing billet requirements and the need to retain historical qualification data, deve l opment of the basic AQD structure is concentrated on the officer area. AQDs f or billet identification may then be selected as required.
Appendix 8 contains the proposed allocation of AQDs for all officer categories and the proposed basic AQD structure for the unrestricted line less 13XX. They have been developed on the premise that the proposed modifications of the billet and officer designator structures, as contained in Appendix A, will be approved and implemented.
The AQD coding structure is in consonance with that which is already in use for the 13XX community and, therefore, is compatible with the ~vy Manpower Information System (NMIS). On Manpower Authorizations (OPNAV 1000/2) 1
NOTE : OPNAVINST 1000.168, 8 December 1970, published the AQD coding system for 13XX billets.
8
the AQD will appear in the section currently labeled "PQS," pending ~:evision of the form. On the officer record, AQDs will replace the SQ/SD codes (total of 9).
Appendix C contains samples of officer AQDs as they should appear in the Manual of Navy Officer Classifications, NAVPERS 15839B. Attention has been given to development of a definition, qualifications necessary ~or designation, responsibilities and procedures for certification, and the desired time frBJT.e for action. Final development of the total AQD structure will provide identification of additional qualification requirements not currently available in manpower authorizations and parallel identification of similarly qualified officer resources. Further, the definitions, etc., when published in the Manual of Navy Officer Classifications, NAVPERS 15839B, will provide all the information needed by commands and officers for AQD qualification and certification.
While most ot _he Additional Qualification Designations (AQDs) will be applicable to the identification of skill and knowledge requirements for Naval Reserve Officer billets and resources, it is indicated that there will be need to develop AQDs which are fot· the Naval Reserve alone.
c. Glossary of Selec r. ed Navy Officer Personnel System Terms
Included in the approved recorumendations contained in WRM 71-12, Navy Officer Personnel System: Refinement of the Navy Officer Classification System, August 1970 was "5. Develop a glossary of Navy officer classification coding terms for bet t er unaerstanding and communication among users of the system." Appendix D contains selected terms and definitions which are common to users of the Navy Officer Personnel System but which are not found in the Navy Glossary of Terms for Manpower Management and Personnel Administration, OPNAV 01Bl-P2.

APPENDIX B
?ROPO~ED ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATION DESIGNATION (AQD) STRUCTURE
Page B-3 of this appendix contains the proposed allocation of Additional Qualification Designations (AQDs) for all officer categories. It is designed to provide identification of special qualifications within the major areas of specialization (designator). Gro~pings were developed in order to provide unallocated space for future expansion in any of the major areas of specialization.
Page B-5 of this appendix commences the proposed Basic Additional Qualification Designation (AQD) Structure for the unrestricted line less 13XX. As the basic structure, it is intended to ident:lfy arE!HS of qualifications within warfare specialties. Further development of detailed AQDs will be accomplished based upon the needs of the various code sponsors.
AQD KC2 - OOD Underway
K = Surface Warfare (warfare specialty) C = Deck Watch (area of qualification) 2 = OOD Underway (specific qualification)
AQD LD2 - Mine Countermeasures Officer
L = Surface Warf~re (warfare specialty) D = Mine Warfare (area of qualification) 2 =Mine Countermeasures (specific qualification)
For the most part, AQDs are listed under the to:arfare specialty wherein the skill area is in most common usage. However, it is intended thRt an officer may qualify for any AQD for which he is eligible. Further, it is desirable that certain AQDs earned under previously held designators be retained for possible future retrieval.

The fundamental r~quirement for ~ontinued effort to improve the overall officer classification systf;m stems from the demand by line managers for better, and more complete management information for both manpower and distribution planning. Formal studies have reiterated the requirement for an improved officer classification system for many years. The most recent such studies were the SECNAV Retention Task Force, the Navy Manpower and Personnel Management Information Systems Task Force (MISTAF) and +-.he proposal by Pers B for an improved officer subsystem for distribution man~gement. Review of the above documents clearly indicates that the officer classification system must be improved and the primary area of concern at this stage is one of gaining adequate visibility into the overall problem in order to determine general methodology, what kinds and how many people should do the work, and what the priority of effort should be in relation to timing and funding.
4. Information Objective 32 required the de~ign of an information system capable of supporting the full scope of officer plans, planning and programing including retention aspects as follows:

Subj: Research Requirements in support of Officer Personnel Systems
a. Projection models of strength, procurement, education and training and promotion plans.
b. Distribution projection models which take into account resources versus requirements, career planning guidelines, special qualifications and distribution policies.
c. Proper interfaces among each of these planning processes.
d. A Master Data Set containing sufficient information and standard data elements for use by all planners.
The above planning system, computer supported by the existing Manpower Information System has been completed. It has been used for two years in connection with official officer planning matters. The methodology and printed outputs are suitable for direct management analysis. A reorganization of officer personnel planning offices in SUPERS in order to optimize the use of the system has been approved for planning purposes. Proposals for the revised organization are being prepared now.
5. The only deficiency in the 1.0. 32 system, is that basic officer classification nomenclature in the billet file and the inventory file does not provide all of the basic data needed and in many cases does not correlate with actual management realities. In most cases, billet nomenclature is too broad, and inventory nomenclature is inconsistent with the billet file. The net effect of this is that the planning system must be "jury rigged" in many cases in order to match a given community of officers with a particular set of billets. The same anomaly appears in the officer Distribution Planning Process where in the same instances that the automated system must be "jury rigged" to pick up a non-stnndard segment of a community or billets, specially programmed runs must be made or data obtained by "hand-count". In otherwords an automated system of planning will not be effective until the officer classification system is cleaned up to reflect realistic correlation between inventory and requirements according to actual management policies.
6. The completion of I.O.s 11, 30 and 31 and the improved officer subsystem described in enclosures (l), (2), (3) and {h) is essential to effective management of officer programs. It is necessary for automated support for Budgeting, Programming, and Planning as well as Distribution. Extensive research effort will be required and the complete project will take several years to accomplish. Completed segments should be implemented while research continues in further areas. Over all effort must include the following major areas:

Subj: Research Requirements in support of Officer Personnel Systems
a. Under law, determine what specific officer classification categories are required.
b. What refinement of the legal categories are required to accomplish Planning and Programming as required by DOD Budget process.
c. What additional refinements are necessary for effective Navy personnel management, (including subsystems for social qualifica- tions within 6. major category)
d. What are the specific manpower planning rules or definitions for each officer billet category.
e. What are the Specific Distribution Planning rules or definitions for each off.icor community category.
f. For each officer category required, what is the most effective classification method to use. i.e. Designator, SQ/SD, NOG, T.P.E., PQS/U, PNOBC, PN'OBC (Note: There must be a one for one correlation between billets and inventory)
g. What is the management and cost impact of changes required to the current system. (least possible change to current nystem is desirable)
h. What are the known combinations of Officer Categories and Sub-Categories which must be programmed for recurring report output in support of current management requirements.
Additional areas of research will no doubt be uncovered as the effort progresses. The Steering Committee will provide broad guidance for the purpose of conrpartmentizing major areas of research to be undertaken and establish relative priority of effort. At this time the priority of effort requested by the committee is as follows: (To ^e accomplished if possible by 30 June 1971)
1. Determine officer categories required under the Laws which are best described by the Designator system.
2. Determine what refinements are necessary to those designator categories in order to respond to the DOD planning and programming system.
3. Determine Manpower planning definitions for each billet designator category.

4. Determine Distribution planning definitions and rules for each officer designator category.
5. Determine first level sub-categor.y for each designator cnteeory (PQS, SQ/SD).
6. ecommend next level sub-category to be researched.
7. It is requested this research effort be accorded a high priority for the allocation of available resources. The results are actually overaue and the primary reason is that prior efforts to find adequate resources has failed. All I.O.s included in this effort are Number 1. priorit.v status in the MAPMIS implementation plan.

INFORMATION OBJECTIVE #11:
Improve the quality of selected manpower requirements informatio in the MARP and Billet Files.
MANAGEMENT USE:
---~r--F·aei-li-tate- the· assimilation of more accurate manpower information for peacetime and mobilizati.on planning.
2. Provide better billet 5.nformation for manpower and personnel management.
MEANS OF ACCOl4PLISHMEHT:
1. Rtfine the use of officer designators to enhance the capability of matching officer manpower requirements with the officer personnel inventory.
2. Develop a Primary ~alification in Specialty (PQS) for each category (designator) of officers to show ma;jor fields of gualifications within that category (see Information Objecti,•c #30). A three-digit data element for this purpose has been provided in the NMIS II Officer Billet File and r.'Jenpower Authorization ( OPNJI.~: 1000/2), but clctailed codes remain to be developed. ·
3. Change the usage of the present secondary NOBC ~lement in the Officer Billet File and Manpower Authorization (OPNAV 1000/2) t o reflect prerequisite NOC for functional experience cr specific t r aining required for assignment of officers to certain billets. No change in Officer Billet File element is required but a change in NOBC/NOC structure is recommended (see Information Objective #30).
4. Redesignate the planned data element for Additional Billet Requirement (ABR) to Additional Billet Information (ABI - for use in both Officer and Enlisted Billet Files and Manpower Authorizations (OPNAV 1000/2). The data element ·;·•ill be a one-character, alpha-numeric code for further identification of selected manpower information, including type security investigations required for certain billets.
5. Increase the review and monitoring of mobilization manpower requirements and minimize disparities associated with phase-up/phaseout requirements and billets to be•filled from active sources upon mobilization (FAC Code "A"). ·

INJi'ORM.~TION OBJECTIVE #30:
Define more precisely the qualifications required by officer billets, utilizing standard cpdes for both the requirements and the officer personnel data banks.
MANAGEMENT USE:
Improved descriptions of billets provi ding better management information for the full scope of officer manpower management.
MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT:
1. Redefinition of the billet file to sh~~ the qualifications required of each job to be done within the framework of presently established format for this file.
2. Sponsors/OP-01/BUPERS will identify billet qualifications in the following manner:
a. Review NOBC/NOC's with the objective of redefining the level of responsibility and authority of the functional experience, establishing a heirarchy as practicable for NOBC/NOC's, relating ·NOC's to functional training courses, and relating NOC's to the "S" coding of subspecialists.
• b. Develop a Primary Qualification Specialty (PQS) structure for each category of officer.s wh i ch would show major fields of q,ualification '·rithin the category.
c. Utilize the pilot study of the ADP Personnel Program Manager as a guide for review of the NOBC/NOC system.

The current Navy Officer Designation Classification Coding Structure (Designator) has not met all the manpower management and personnel administration needs of the
Navy. This report describes the development of refinements to the designator, pri- marily through the design and development of an Additional Qualification Designation (AQD) structure which will supplement the designator and be applicable to both requirements and resources. Recommendations include modifications of the designators, a proposed AQD structure for the unrestricted line (less aviation), and necessary research to complete refinement of the Navy Officer Classification System,
